It lie doubtful II the City Council was
ever In o more deplorable condition
financially than 1t Is OF the present
time. At the meeting OF the Oily
Council last night only el2, 566. AZ Was

was passed at the same meeting Tor the

BY the first OF April. This viii leave
less than 0 thousand dollars In the
treasury after the said interest Is paid.

THE resignation of Judge Macarthur,
after an honorable and able service OF sew
enteen years as one of the judges OF the
supreme court Of the District, creates a
vacancy, which President Cleveland will
doubtless fill promptly. The NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN desires to suggest that resi-
dents Of the District are not necessarily
"cnrpet baggers" because they were not
born here. 1t is believed that the bar Of
the District Of Columbia has excellent ma
terial out Of which the President can select
lawyer qualified to I'll the position. 1t Is
not absolutely necessary to appoint Dem
ocrat, but as the present court is consti-
tuted, and as the President is simon pure
Democrat himself, It can hardly be ex
pected that any lawyer except one
Of Democratic ideas will be Sc
lected. Our esteemed contemporary
the Star, has notified the President that he
must select the new Judge from the resi-
dents of the federal capital In the interest
of "home rule" The NATIONAL REPUBLI-
CAN desires to unto with the Star, not in
the way Of dictation but to simply express
a wish, that some one Of our Democratic
lawyers, member Of the Columbia Club,
be honored with the appointment In casa
a gentleman Of sufficient ability cannot
be found in the club, we suggest Lawyer
Matthews, Of Albany, because we desire to
remove the color line from politics, and
take Mr.. Matthews from the influences
which create offensive partsanship. as H.
lustrated in his party services at Albany,

Neither Honest Nor wise.

The House Of Representatives In its
closing hours refused to suspend the rules
and pension the widow Of that grand
soldier John A. Logan. The vote was 145
in favor Of the suspension and 113 against
1t, and as a two.thirds majority was re-
quired the effort failed.
The 113 men who voted against this PEN
sion to a gallant soldiers widow were all
Democrats-eighty-si Of them from the
south and twenty-seven from the north.
OF the twenty seven northern men who
voted to refuse Mrs. Logan pension six
teen have been left out Of the next Con-
gress, and 1t is to be hoped the other eleven
will be sent to join them at the next OPP
portunity offered. or the eight Demo-
Gratis from Indiana, all but one (Mr. Ford)
voted against the pension.
1t will be observed that we said "113
men" voted against the pension, and the
word "men" was used advisedly. They
were not representatives iu casting this vote,
because the people of this country are
almost unanimously in favor Of the meas
ure which proposed to pension Mrs. Logan,
and they were misrepresented by those who
refused to vote for It, SO foully misrepre
sented that we believe In the northern
states, where ballots count, not one Of these
"men" will ever be permitted to again mis-
represent the districts they have dlshon
ored.
Gen. Logan was the ideal peoples SOL
dier. The people honored him while he
lived, and they revere his name now that he
has passed away. 1t was dishonor to the
American name that the effort to pension
his widow failed, and 1t is one that the peo-
pie will neither forget nor forgive.
1t was not honest, because he gave the
best of his life to the nation, and It wal
not wise in the men who did it, because the
vote to refuse that pension should be the
| political obituary Of every man who cast IT.
And they deserve the political death which
| they have invited.
National Republican., 1887-03-10
The NeNt House.

The most important legislation expected
of the Congress just ended failed because
of the stupid organization Of the House.
Mr.. Carlisle has demonstrated an utter lack
Of judgment and political leadership. He
is an honest man and good presiding off,
Ger, but he lacks aggressiveness and that
fixed decision Of purpose indispensable to
the execution of great policy.
Mr.. Randall was beaten by Mr.. Carlisle
for speaker, yet Carlisle, in the amlabllity
Of his character, assigned Randall to a con-
trolling position in the House, which that
gentleman used to defeat oil that Mr.. Car
Isle represents. Mr.. Randall, AZ placed in
the same position in the next House, which
he will be II Carlisle be chosen speaker, will
play the same part in the future as In the
past. He has no love for the administra-
ton, and expects to prevent the success OF
any measures that will make Mr.. Cieve-
lands term illustrious.
We care little about the rlyalries for
Office prevailing among Democratic leaders.
There are, however, considerations which
affect the country's welfare In which we
are deeply interested. We want our coasts
and commerce protected. Mr.. Rindall
does not. We think that when a man hon.
ored as Mr.. Randall has been sinks to q
chronic obstructionist and nothing m ore,
the quicker the country is rid of him the
better. But to get rid of Randall, Carlisle
must be defeated for speaker Of the next
House.
There will be many young men in the
next Congress ambitious, intelli gent, and
anxious to place this country where it
belongs-among the foremost nations OF
the world. To accomplish this, or, indeed,
anything of patriotic nature, new
speaker must be elected. The man most
likely to inaugurate change for the better,
and who would make up the committees
so that the young energy of the House
could be felt, is Mr. Collins, of Boston. He
has attained a commanding position In the
House, is man Of splendid qualifications,
and has courage in abundance.
Inasmuch as we must have Dem ocratic
speaker, give us one who represents the
pluck and best intellect of that party.

MEssRs. DIBBLE, Of South Carolina, and
Willis, of Kentucky, have presented very
able brief to the President in favor Of the
idea that he can sign, II he approves, any
bill which has passed both houses of Con.
gress and been regularly presented to him
before adjournment, within the ten days
prescribed by the constitution that he is en-
titled to, in which to consider bills, even
should Congress adjourn before the ten
days expire. The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN
some days ago, commenting on the clause Of
the constitution in regard to this matter,
said 1t was fairly capable of this construc-
ton, and until the Supreme Court decides
differently we shall hold the President has
the right claimed for him by Messrs. Dlbble
and Willis, whether he chooses to exercise
il or not,

ONE Of our contemporaries has q table
purporting to give the political standisg of
the Senate as constituted for the fiftieth
Congress. Its figures are: Republicans, 3S;
Democrats, 81; Independents, l, the senator
classed as Independent being Senator II. Ii.
Riddleberger, of Virginia.
We grant that as a man Senator Riddle
berger is thoroughly independent, but as a
politician and senator Mr.. Riddleberger is q
Republican. He was elected to the United
States Senate after having been the candi-
date Of the Republican senators for SER
geant-atarms OF the Senate. He was a del
cgate to the last national Republican con-
vention, and he attends the meetings OF the
Senate caucus, and the Star is no more JUS
titled in chasing Senator Rlddleberger as an
"independent" than It would be in classi-
flying Senator Voorhees,. The senators who
will constitute the next Senate at its OPEN

THERE is feeling Of sincere regret among
those citizens Of the District, without re-
gard TO politics, who know Capt. ?. l..
Rodier, at his removal from the position OF
foreman Of the Treasury branch of the gov
ernment printing Office. 1t is well known
that while in office he retained under him
numbers Of employees who were politically
opposed to former administrations, among
that class being his successor. In fact his
Office was considered safe place Of refuge
for District Democrats. Capt, Rodier has
the satisfaction Of knowing that ho leaves
the office so long in his charge in most
efficient condition.
